Chapter 117: Untitled
Bai Ye snapped his fingers and two men in black came over. He had originally planned for them to abandon Ye Yutang outside a hospital, but he was too disgusted by Ye Yutang, who was covered in blood and urine.
The smell of the mixture of blood and urine was exceptionally unpleasant and disgusting.
People like him did not even deserve to get into their car.
Ye Chen had figured that out too. They had to send him to the hospital for sure, as he didn’t want to kill him, yet. If they left him alone, he would die from excessive bleeding.
“Dial 120!” Ye Chen said. ‘He wouldn’t die before the doctor comes!’
Bai Ye agreed and ordered one of the men to call the emergency number.
“You get into my car!” Ye Chen said while carrying Ning Ning, not letting him go over to Bai Ye.
Ning Ning was stunned. He had always hated physical contact with others, but he was held by Ye Chen in his arms obediently. It seemed like other than his mommy, he was seldom hugged by other people.
A male? That’s even rarer.
He felt weird and awkward when Bai Ye carried him today, so he immediately broke free. Although their friendship seemed deep and they were friendly to each other, he still felt awkward.
However, he felt a light, reassuring feeling when carried by the third young master.
It was warm and comfortable.
The third young master was about the same age as Bai Ye, but the feeling of being held by them was way different. Perhaps, it was because the third young master was his daddy.
That was why.
Well, he had to admit that he was still a child. Although he was mature, he still had the looks of a child. It was perfectly normal to see an adult carrying him.
‘So, it is fine to not break free, right?’
Ning Ning thought to himself. He smiled at Bai Ye and said, “Bai Ye, I’ll take the third young master’s car!”
Bai Ye nodded and waved his hands coolly. “Off you go. Contact me if anything happens!”
Ning Ning blinked cutely and waved back. “Then, it’ll be better for me to not have to contact you!”
Bai Ye laughed. Indeed, what could possibly happen that would be serious enough for Ning Ning to contact him? A person who couldn’t even be cured by a doctor was in mortal danger? If it was for this kind of matter, they better not meet!
Ye Chen and Bai Ye nodded at each other. Ye Chen carried the boy onto his car, started the car’s engine, and left the parking lot.
Bai Ye whistled, removed the mini video recorder on his sleeve, and smiled elegantly. ‘I’ll play this for Chu Li to watch. What a loving scene.’
“Let’s go!”
“Okay!”
Several cars quickly left the parking lot.
Yutang was left all alone in the spacious parking lot, looking extra miserable. From head to toe, he seemed like he had been tortured and sliced with a knife, like someone had just performed ‘Ling Chi' on him.
Out of the parking lot, the boy’s stomach growled at the wrong moment. Grr, grr… The growl continued. He covered his stomach cutely and smiled. “I’m hungry!”
“Let’s go to eat together!” Ye Chen said. The plan remained unchanged, only mealtime was slightly delayed.
Moreover, their appetite was exceptionally better after settling someone’s hash.
He felt a little hungry too.
Both of them hadn’t eaten since noon. Ning Ning was already hungry while they were in the hospital. They were not made of iron after all. Moreover, it was already midnight.
The father and son had tortured Ye Yutang for a good few hours. They were very fierce and rough.
When they just started torturing him, he felt so nauseous and disgusted that he was full despite being hungry.
Now, it was time for his stomach to growl again.
Ye Chen raised his arms and glanced at his watch. It was almost one o’clock in the morning, and most of the restaurants had already closed. He knew that he could not let a growing child go hungry even though he hadn’t raised one before.
Fortunately, he knew of a few high-class private restaurants that opened twenty-four hours. ‘Whatever. Just feed him first.’
“Third Young Master Ye, let’s go to KFC!” Ning Ning suddenly said. With the third young master’s ability, he could have totally brought him somewhere to eat even at three or four o’clock in the morning, but he suddenly craved for KFC.
After Cheng Anya gave birth to Ning Ning, she rejected her aunt’s help as her uncle’s company faced bankruptcy then. Her aunt’s house was up for auction and they were struggling financially. Hence, in order not to burden her, Cheng Anya rented a house on her own.
Having raised Ning Ning by herself, Ning Ning was clear of his mommy’s hardships more than anyone else.
He matured early. Intelligent kids tend to be more sensible and sensitive to feelings. Ning Ning was no exception. After all, he wasn’t born this fierce and rough. There had to be a transitional period.
When he was little, when he and his mother passed by KFC, Ning Ning had always envied those happy families sitting inside.
He was too young to know what money was then.
He wondered why his mommy never took him to KFC even once.
On one occasion, he saw a child about his age riding on his father’s shoulder. He was so envious that he imagined that he also had a father who could smile at him and love him like that.
A father that could bring him to KFC for burgers and chicken wings.
That was his ultimate wish when he was three or four. Although he had grown up now and could buy whatever he wanted…
He would regret if he was not able to fulfill the dream. It was his childhood dream after all.
He really wanted to know how it felt like to have burgers and chicken wings with his father.
In fact, when he was young, he didn’t really want to eat those burgers and chicken wings. He was just envious of the children whose parents brought them there.
Once, Cheng Anya felt bad and brought him to pig out in KFC reluctantly.
Life was tough then as Cheng Anya was only a student. At their poorest, they even had to skip meals. Hence, eating at KFC was a luxury for them.
All for that one time of luxury.
Cheng Anya starved for a whole ten days and ate only steamed buns with soy sauce every day. The sensible Ning Ning then understood. His mommy had to starve for ten days just for a KFC meal.
Since then, he never stopped outside the windows of KFC again.
He started trading behind the scenes, with a sole simple wish to make money.
He wished to earn a lot of money so that his mommy would not worry about money, would not work hard for money, and would no longer bargain with others in the market for a few yuan.
However, he did not expect to have met Black J, Jason, Chu Li, and Bai Ye. As soon as they went out of control, he started to gamble more. Anyway, he was confident that nobody would catch his weakness. In any case, he would not get into trouble.
Moreover, Sir was the chief supervisor of the International anti-terrorist special forces.
‘What is there to fear?’
Later, Cheng Anya graduated and her aunt and uncle’s business gradually improved. The family was not short of money anymore. Hence, he kept his thoughts a secret as they became meaningless.
Because of him, his mommy saw the fickleness of human nature and suffered from the bullying of people. Because of him, she had lost seven years of her wonderful youth.
Life had taken her youth, passion, and happiness.
